Promotional Clip
This is a fantastic short clip about the Jamboree and it really gives you the opportunity to see what it is all about!!
Talking to Others
Thanks to Social Media, it has been fairly easy for me to communicate with other IST members from, not only my Selection Days, but from all around the country. From talking briefly to different people, I can tell that everyone has been getting very excited about the adventure that awaits us.
On Twitter, I have been talking to someone from Birmingham about what we are going to do when we get into Japan along with what we are going to be doing on the run up to the event. We have spoken about doing some fundraising together (although the distance between us is great, we can do some events together like a £50 Wall etc.) and talking about meeting up when we arrive in Japan, whether it is at the Jamboree or in Tokyo, we are intending to meet up at least once.
On Facebook there seems to be a lot more communication going on between all of the various individuals. There has been a Group put together where we can ask different questions and get it answered by someone or we can start a group conversation, but this Group is mainly about making friends with new people before we go to the Jamboree. I have spoken to, and made, a number of new friends about going to Japan and any other preparations about the event. My main concern about the Jamboree was whether or not I was going to be accepted in the Group as I am going to be one of the Youngest, but I am glad that the older members of the IST have gladly welcomed me with open arms.
Hopefully the friendships that I have made before the Jamboree will be a brilliant opportunity for me to meet new people whilst I am over there, but I will have to just wait and see whether that is the case, but I am certain that it will be.

About Me
Well, now that I have completed my Selection Weekend Event, it is important for you all to know a little bit about me, so here goes:
My Name is Gary Barron and I am an Assistant Cub Scout Leader with Ashcombe Cubs in Weston-super-Mare. I have completed my Queen's Scout Award and will be heading to Windsor Castle this year (2014) for the official presentation of the award, despite me being given my badge last year. As well as completing my QSA, I have also been lucky enough to attend a previous World Scout Jamboree (Sweden, 2011) and the main reason for me wanting to go to the 23rd World Scout Jamboree is to give something back to the World Organisation of Scouting Movement and UK Scouting for allowing me to complete a number of different activities and events that would not have been possible prior to joining this amazing movement.
As well as being a Scout, I am a Student at Weston College, studying to be an IT Practitioner after I leave =. I am undecided to go to University, especially as I now may be going to Japan. Hopefully, the College will be able to support me in anyway possible.
